Aries himself took to his Twitter handle to react to the news, and we must say, he seems to be a very happy man indeed.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Former TNA World Champion’s WWE run has been pale in comparison to his other TNA peers Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bobby Roode and Eric Young – all of whom have made waves ever since coming to the WWE. While WWE’s booking team is partly to be blamed for not using him to his full potential, an untimely injury and the failure of 205 Live have played a big part too.
Despite being in the Cruiserweight title picture for quite some time, he failed to dethrone Neville on three separate occasions and recently announced he would be taking some time off to deal with nagging injuries. He will also be remembered for his time in the commentary booth when he recuperated from an eye injury.
At 39 years old with a wealth of experience under his belt, Aries is a legend in Indy circles and we’re sure he won’t find it tough finding a new home. A return to a new and improved Impact Wrestling or even Ring Of Honor seem like viable options.
We wish A Double the very best in his future endeavours, irrespective of where he ends up goi
